| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the George IV State Diadem, with a drop earring visible, rendered in Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth definitive portrait. The truncation bears the engraver's initials 'IRB'. The circumferential legend reads 'ELIZABETH II BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY', with the date '2009' positioned at the lower right of the field. The mirrored proof fields provide strong contrast against the finely detailed relief of the portrait. |

| Reverse description | Central depiction of the Mayflower, the historic three-masted square-rigged sailing vessel, shown in full sail profile with detailed rendering of her hull, rigging, masts, and furled canvas. A rope motif with a central barrel device frames the lower portion of the design, creating a decorative border element. The denomination 'FIVE POUNDS' arcs along the upper field, while 'MAYFLOWER' is inscribed along the lower field beneath the rope motif. The composition is set against deeply mirrored proof fields that accentuate the sculptural relief of the ship's detailed rigging and hull. |
